Still quick: Nick Heidfeld exclusive

In Nick Heidfeld's supposedly poor season in 2008, he finished second four times and ended up just 15 points behind teammate Robert Kubica. Imagine where he'll be if he gets on with the F1.09

The fluffy beard might help to add a few years, but Nick Heidfeld still looks as though he's not long past his teens. And yet this year he not only turns 32, he also celebrates his 10th season as a full-time grand prix driver.

With Rubens Barrichello currently unemployed, only Giancarlo Fisichella and Jarno Trulli have been around longer, and only the two Italian veterans and Mark Webber are older.
